A classic, crowd-pleasing recipe, this artichoke dip with feta is made with canned artichoke hearts, creamy whole milk Greek yogurt, savory sun-dried tomatoes, and a dash of olive oil. Served warm with pita chips or crackers, it’s the perfect easy snack or appetizer! 

A staple in Mediterranean cooking, artichokes are a lovely addition to a variety of recipes like flatbread pizza, chicken pasta, and antipasto skewers! I even love to make roasted artichokes and serve them on their own! However, if you asked me my favorite way to use this vegetable, I’d have to say it’s in this artichoke dip recipe! 

More than your average feta artichoke dip, this version features a bold, chunky texture and a truly unique taste! 

We start with a creamy feta and yogurt base and add the nutty flavor of canned artichoke hearts. Then, we elevate the dip even more with a good dose of sweet and tangy sun-dried tomatoes and a drizzle of olive oil for good measure. Yum! The end result is a quick and easy artichoke dip that’s always a hit at holiday parties, family gatherings, and everything in between!

Feta Artichoke Dip Ingredients

This artichoke dip features all the normal ingredients you expect to see. We just spruced it up with a few additions to make it extra tasty! Here’s everything you’ll need: 

  • Artichoke hearts – Keep things easy with canned varieties. Just make sure they’re roughly chopped and drained. 
  • Feta – Use a block of creamy, full-fat feta. 
  • Greek yogurt – Whole milk Greek yogurt will make this artichoke dip extra smooth and creamy. Use a plain, unflavored version for a delicious tangy taste. 
  • Scallions – Include both the white and green parts for a sharp, spicy flavor. 
  • Garlic – Everything tastes better with garlic! Use two fresh cloves. 
  • Fresh parsley – Small but mighty, just a sprinkle helps lighten the dish, balancing out the savory ingredients and heaviness of the fats. 
  • Sun-dried tomatoes – Bright sun-dried tomatoes take this dip from good to great with their beautiful color and sweet, tangy taste! 
  • Extra virgin olive oil – Any olive oil will work in this artichoke dip recipe, but I love the rich, pungent flavor of our Early Harvest EVOO. It complements the bold ingredients perfectly! 
  • Red pepper flakes or Aleppo pepperJust a dash adds the perfect amount of heat. If you’ve never tried it, check out our Aleppo pepper here! Its spicy, slightly sweet, fruity taste pairs incredibly well with the sun-dried tomatoes for the best feta artichoke dip you’ll ever taste! 

How to Make Artichoke Dip

This artichoke dip with feta may taste gourmet, but it’s really pretty easy to make. The only hard part is waiting for it to finish baking! I recommend brewing a cup of Arabic mint tea while you wait to help pass the time. 

  • Break up the feta. Add the feta to a mixing bowl, and break it up into small pieces. I’ve found using the back of a fork or a potato masher is the easiest way to do this! crumbled feta cheese in a bowl.
  • Combine the ingredients. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl of crumbled feta, adding a drizzle of olive oil and red pepper flakes on top. Then, stir everything up with a spoon until the ingredients are well combined. uncooked artichoke dip with feta in a bowl.
  • Bake the artichoke dip. Transfer the mixture to a 10-inch cast iron skillet or an 8×8 square baking dish, and place it in the center rack of your heated oven. Now, all that’s left to do is sip on your tea and wait for it to get hot and bubbly! uncooked artichoke dip with feta in a cast iron skillet.
  • Serve. Carefully remove your dip from the oven, and serve it right away with a side of pita chips, crackers, or even veggie sticks!

Flavor Variations to Switch It Up! 

Looking for ways to make this artichoke dip with feta even more flavorful? Try including some of our favorite mix-ins below, and feel free to experiment to make it your own!  

  • Spinach: Want to add more nutrients? Mix in frozen, chopped spinach for extra greens and a bit more bulk. 
  • Protein: Make this artichoke dip a complete meal by adding in finely chopped pre-cooked chicken for a boost of extra protein! 
  • Garlic: Love garlic as much as we do? Feel free to go crazy with it, and add some more. 
  • Mayonnaise: If you don’t have Greek yogurt on hand, swap it out with mayonnaise to replicate the same creamy texture and tangy taste. 
  • Parmesan: Make this dip even more indulgent with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan on top.

Or, if you’re serving a crowd, make a mezze platter with sliced cucumbers, olives, grapes, Muhammara, hummus, and whatever else your heart desires.

    Very tasty dip. With a bag of pita chips, the dip will go fast during the Super Bowl.

  3. Linda says:

    This dip is Delicious! Served this with your homemade pita chips. A big hit at our get together. I assembled everything a few hours ahead of time, kept it in the fridge, then baked until bubbly. The sun dried tomatoes, garlic, scallions and Aleppo pepper gave this dip so much flavor. We all loved it and will be making it again.

    I/m having a whale of a time on your site. I am making this now with ‘Givrex’ Egyptian frozen artichoke hearts. I am an expat in Cairo. This looks so yummy and I have a lunch party tomorrow, I just hope it can be made beforehand and warmed in the microwave for tomorrow, I did not have sun dried tomatoes…..so,,,,,I went a little adventurous,,,,and added small chopped pieces of preserved lemon instead. Thanks for the inspiration!! I am sure it will receive my 5 stars.

  7. Diann says:

    Can you freeze left overs?

    1. TMD Team says:

      Hi, Diann. That’s not something we’ve tried before with this recipe, so it’s hard to say how well it would survive the thaw. If you give it a go, please stop back and share your thoughts!
